I never did need a green screen to do things like this. The environment is entirely my creation.

An old project that I had recently revived since the new version of Blender had been packaged with the new Cycles rendering engine. A tribute to an old favorite manga of mine: Elfen Lied. It wasn't that I was captivated by the artwork or the story; It was probably my own sympathy for Lucy. (I like to call her "Lucy". I know it's not her real name.) Anyway, I just revived this to try out this cool new physics-based renderer.

About Me:
Digital animation and design has almost always been my passion. I started out back when I was a pre-teen and have been doing it ever since. It's something I want to do for the rest of my life. I plan to go to college this Fall to start working toward a degree. In the time between I'd like to help out with some of your animation and image editing needs. Talk to me if you think I could be of service.
